Oh Andi, I'm so sad for you and Harvey. Warm, soothing thoughts to you both.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Snuggles up with WindSparrow and Harvey.

David, that is pretty much what my mom's doctors have said. She is 93 because she didn't get cancer or any of the dread diseases that get you in the 40-50 range. Her heart valves are super sketchy and are going to stop working, but the cardiologist says it isn't disease, it is old age.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh yes, snuggles help. I consoled myself last night with Lord Peter Wimsey fanfic and pizza. Harvey consoled himself with a dish of gooshy food and a hip+joint treat. We then snuggled up as a family including Daniel and Sammie to watch The Tick (animated).

Spooooon!!
I love the Tick, so much so that when my friends adopted their 8th retired Greyhound, I convinced them to keep his nom de sprint. They thought to call him Maverick or Iceman to fit with his brother, Goose's name.
Frankly, I think calling out the back door, "Goo-oose! Spoo-oon!" is so amusing, I'd never consider anything else.
When the gentlemen learned that Spoon is actually a superhero battle cry (they had no prior experience), they changed their minds.
I'm crocheting matching cowls for the boys and embroidering modified infinity signs...with the Os smooshed together on them.
Big, group hug for you and your snuggle buds, Andi.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My mother emailed this link to my sister and me. Because she thought we might be interested. I'm, just, ... what? (Note: it takes two seconds of Google to find out that pretty much every doctor says, "Don't do that.") [link]

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jesus god. Risking a steam burn on my hoo ha? No thank you. The logistics baffle me.
eta The comments are actually pretty good for the most part. Funniest so far "happy to steam my veggies but draw the line at my vaggie".

There's a Ravely thread on the steaming issue. It's pretty funny, especially the names they're using for vagina. I rather liked "thunderdome."

At least she emailed it to us, rather than tagging us on Facebook, which is her usual way of telling us she wants us to read something.

Ha, it would have been fun to see your mom tag you in FB with that one. Well, I would have chuckled anyway.
I have no idea whether it is hooey or not, but if I had serious cramp issues or whatever I would likely investigate it further. I never really had those issues, but I know women that suffer badly. My parts retired 14 years ago so not so much an issue. Fun comments.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
For cramping, I would think a hotpad or warm towel would be a more effective way of delivering heat to the muscles that actually do the cramping.
